Hi all, as discussed with seife :) here is a new patch made with bluez-4.57, without debian extensions and no curly braces due to the mentioned coding style. I added it as attachment cause my mail program seems to change the tabs. Let me know if it is still damaged. In my vi everything is ok with the tabs. Here my short xplanation: With the patch i wanted to change as few code as possible. So i replaced the start_sdp_server() with the code executed before the l2cap socket is created and server starts listening ( see init_server() in sdpd-server.c). The same idea when stopping: Just omit the code responsible for the socket creation and release. Of course I am not sure if this is the best way cause i am not aware of the thoughts, decisions and discussions which made the code becoming what it is today. So i would really appreciate any explanation of why someone would do it in another way. Please let me know if it gets integrated into further bluez releases or if any additional information is needed. Thanks...
